Wishing everybody a wonderful time over the holiday period, and a peaceful new year.
A new year where we display and witness compassion towards others.
A new year where we endeavor to understand that each of us is a product of our upbringing and of our life experiences.
A new year in which each of us can celebrate our own uniqueness, and acknowledge that attribute in those we meet.
A new year in which we can celebrate our differences, rather than isolate one another because of them.
A new year that we can together make truly wonderful.
A New Direction Perhaps? 
Lovely post. Happy new year 🙂

Thanks Di. I can’t believe it’s that time again so soon. Where do the months go? I guess it’s the joy of aging! 🙂
